Procedure The girl’s family prepares a wedding invitation for the boy’s family, which is splashed with a few drops of saffron.

Choora

On the day of the wedding, the  Choora ritual  involves a giving ceremony, in which the oldest maternal uncle and aunt of the bride bring this set of  beautiful red and cream bangles  as a gift of good wishes and happiness.

Now, however, brides tend to wear them for just  40 days  afte...
